QTiM III – john mayer edition

If there can be such a thing as a self-respecting John Mayer fan, I am one.

I guess it isn’t terribly accurate to say this is by John Mayer; it’s actually the John Mayer Trio, which includes Steve Jordan (bass) and Pino Palladino (drums). The live album as a whole feels like his most recent studio release, Continuum, but with lengthy instrumental solos that could pass as improvisational. The bulk of the CD is comprised of previous material and a few covers (including Jimi Hendrix and Ray Charles), but this clip is excerpted from new, original stuff… or so I think.
